Beginning...again

It's the beginning of a new month

and a new adVENTURE here in Lubbock, Texas.

This dawned on me this morning:

I realize that today marks the end of official, paid EmmyCare,

and aside from the bittersweet feelings I've already blogged about, 

it feels especially significant because of where it puts me/us,

in transition, again. 

EmmyCare was the reason we moved to Lubbock;

and it was a new focus for me.


We knew from the get-go that it would be for a season,
but how quickly seasons come and go.

It was also the reason Rob and I have had all these weeks apart

and the reason he has traveled all those miles to work.

Now, staying in Lubbock is a choice, 
and it presents us with the opportunity to assess why we're here,

what's next for me work-wise, and how we make it all work 

in the best way possible for US!

It's an open door out of the 

"precious-confinement" of regular EmmyCare,

and as with all "releases", 
therein lies the freedom and the fear.

Oh boy!
